Speculative post on Lucifer's aspects

Lucifer, He has a mischievous side. In my experience, He does sure like medieval, circus imagery at times. Do not try to use this for any first contact, keep it professional, keep it respectful. Freak shows, in history, were always been deemed the "other" regardless of time period. A hub of individuality even for those they would reject as a heinous lifestyle, but so it persists. It's deemed an inversion to order for the nail that did not quite fit. I find it interesting though in my times before pop culture used Him for this archetype, I had a similar experience. I am divided about this but, I trust my own discernment.

Faustian stories, often evoke this mischievous character which is an inversion of light. Furthermore, the name Mephistopheles is a corrupted Greek compound. The Greek particle of negation (μή, mē) and the Greek word for "love" or "loving" (φίλος, philos). Three possible meanings have been proposed, and three different etymologies have been offered as"not loving light" (φῶς, phōs; the old form of the name being Mephostopheles), "not loving Faust", mephitic, pertaining to poisonous vapors arising from pools, caverns, and springs (Wikipedia). Faust appears as a servant to Lucifer, now the discussion if Mephisto is Lucifuge. I have speculated with others that Lucifuge's etymology could come from a name similar to "Lucifer Reficul" which is just Lucifer forwards and backwards. Think of it as peter pan and peter pan's shadow, same but different. In which, if we go back about a thousand years the Greeks & Romans had Esophosos/Hesperos which are in turn Lucifer/Vesper with some other names like "noctifer" mixed in. With some pondering I do believe Mephisto = Lucifuge but, as the evening star counterpart to Lucifer, I am not as sure. Lucifer's aspect as Vesper seems contemplative, introverted but an underlying mischievous aura to it. Now, I have thought about it for over six months. It could be Mephisto is a developed egregore that with enough energy became its own entity in which funnily enough seems like Luciferian archetype to me, but who knows right.

The medieval & circus connection can be answered as clowns & jesters and all who side with them must be servants of the devil. Some examples are, "Fools for Satan" – Some Christian theologians (like St. Augustine) argued that jesters, with their mocking humor, were agents of the Devil, tempting people into sin. Carnival of Fools – Medieval festivals (like the Feast of Fools) featured role reversals where jesters imitated clergy, which the Church condemned. Physical Deformity – Many jesters had dwarfism or disabilities, which superstition linked to demonic influence or curses. As society changed the role changed, it was not castles but, tents of all the same types of people whom would see it as "home". This aspect is one of most attractive to people in general due to its alluring quality of deals. Sometimes, if this is how you perceive this energy it would be one of first experiences with the spirit. In that case, Lucifuge could be Noctifer which is an aspect of Satan which in turn could be an aspect of Lucifer but its up to you to decide. The Temple of the Ascending Flame does discuss this.

Now, back to pop culture with Hazbin Hotel's Lucifer leaning into these motifs. I am neutral about this piece of media because as it's not perfect it has glaring issues, as a critical fan of her work. It did help me in the right direction back to my practice indirectly. I do believe the Lucifer in concept has some validity to it, characterization wise NO.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This bill is to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!

Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.
